"They were very together," said one fan who sat near the couple as local team Rennes FC took on rival Sochaux. "They talked a lot during the match and exchanged tender looks. ... They seemed very much in synch with each other."

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault, a luxury goods mogul, have a 2-year-old daughter, Valentina Paloma. They called off their engagement in July.

But in recent weeks, it seems that the very private pair may be moving closer toward a reconciliation. Just last month, Pinault and the former 30 Rock and Ugly Bettyguest star were spotted looking cozy in L.A. and back in his native France.

The soccer outing in Rennes marked the couple's first public appearance in Pinault's hometown – a city of importance in his family's billion-dollar empire.
